5. Night Wakings and Realistic Expectations
Welcome back to Cozy Little Convos! In today's episode, we discuss the common patterns of night wakings in babies of different ages. I combine my personal experiences with research-based insights and my work with Cozy Baby families to offer practical and realistic expectations for parents navigating their baby's sleep journey. I want to help reassure and inform you on how to achieve healthier sleep habits for both you and your little one.
